To all ol om it may -Be it know'nthat l, Wonnsnn Rhnmono Hn'm'rr'z, a citizen oi the Kingdom of Saxony, and aresident of stresse 24, have invented certainne'w and useful Improvements in Cash-Registers, of which the following My invention relates to cash presenting a plurality of tills, and reference in'particular to means for'bringing into operative position the special other like devices employed besides the 'i'naincount-- ing, printing andindicating, device. 'lhe number of of tills, and the simple motion of the latter itself efiects adjustment of the said devices. x a p The essential featureof my present invention is that well-known manher. by the keys 3. 5 The shaft 2 is rotated bythe cra'nk 5;.on it are mounted a toothed segment 6 and 1 ohm disk 7. Parallel with the shaft 2 there is anothei' shaft 8, on which are mounted two toothed segments 9 and- 10. The segment 10 liss"in the plane of the segment 6, so that on rotation of the To the segment 9 there is jointed nod 11, which extends almost to the bottom-of the register. The hills 12 are fumished at the back with pairs of projections orflngers 13,,fwhich are chartered in opposite directions so as ltopresent a gap 14. The rod 11 presents" studs 15 loqted on a level with the gaps 14.

The special devices 17 for counting ,or the like fare n'ountod in a slide 16, which-at one side is provided with the segment 9. w

20 is a spring-controlled bolt, mounted in is suitable presents notches 21, which the bolt 20 mn enter.

The operation of the apparatus is iollowsz- -After depressing the keys to register the value desiredflhe cashier pushes in the till allotted tohim. -Since each 1 of the studs 15 on the rod 11 lies on' a level with a charm fered finger 13, the stud l5 ofithe receded till will be caused by the finger 13 to rise and enter the gap 14,

In this position of the stud'15 further motion of rod ll is imposible. As, however, the chamiers present different angles of inclination, the rod 11- will he mass or less elevated, depending upon -which chamfered finger 18 actuates it. This motion of the rod is transmitted by the segment 9 to the slide 16, and so sets the correct mechanism 17, that the adjusting disk 4, on the b'eingnow turned, can act upon it. In order that the slide may not shift during this rotation, the bolt2i) at the comn lnceogient of the crank rota tion is de intoone'of the notches 21 by the cam oanonly snap up again under the action of its spring, after the rotation of the crank has ended.

Hereupon the segment 6 meshes with'the segment 10 Jsnl returns the slide 16 she rod us their initial p0- 'The, slide maybe operated in variousways, Figs. 3 and! s'hpw; for example, that, if desired, special rods can be provided for each till, two, 11 and 11, being furnished in the present case for each till, the rods being jointed to a cross-piece 23 on the shaft 8. In-

of two fingers 13 as in l-and'2, only one finger 24 is provided here, presenting two flat surfaces or rests 25, 25 at different levels, separated by an inclined plane 26. On a till being pushed in,- the frontrod 11 ascends the incline 26, When it reaches the rest 25, the rod 11 will repose on therest 25, so that further motion is irnpomible. The proper extent of motion 'of the slide 16 is caused by the fingers 24 and the inclines 26 being unlike.

F ig'. 5 shows a modifielition in which in place of two fingel's on'each till, as in 1 and 2, with a single sl ml 15 entering between them, there is only one finger '13 which slides between two studs 15,, 15 on the rod ll.

. Inother respects the arrangement'is the same as that already described.
